Description

Kumihimo, anyone?

Kumihimo is a Japanese braiding technique, which can be made with a Marudai or a Kumihimo Disk, like this one.

I'm making Kumihimo braids for several years now and I tried lots of different disks - but alsways the same problems came to me:

Which direction was I rotating?
What thread is next?

So I ended up to "unbraid" some threads, until I figured it out.
And I thought: There must be an easy way for that.

This is why I decided to create my very own disk.

  • Easy to use
  • Easy to print
  • More fun, less struggle

How does it work?

The big arrows in the middle show you the direction of rotation, the little arrows indicate the thread which you have to use next, and the dots show you where to put it. In the MMU/Painted version the dots also have the same color as the arrow for extra easy orientation.

Everything is explained in my beginners tutorial below, which will also teach you Kumihimo in 6 easy steps, if you never tried this before:

There are 3 different versions for you to print:

  • A single color small one
  • A single color big one
  • A MMU2 one (5 STL files for 5 different colors)

They are all quick and easy prints, for further information check out the "Print Settings" section.

Now it's time to print your own and start braiding!
Enjoy!
